5.1 Verifying That the Installation Was Successful

One way to verify that your OES Linux server installation was successful and that the components are loading properly is to watch the server reboot. As each component is loaded, the boot logger provides a status next to it indicating if the component is loading properly.

You can also quickly verify a successful installation by accessing the server from your Web browser.

NOTE:iManager is fully functional from a SUSE® Linux server console using Mozilla 1.7 or Mozilla Firefox 1.0 browsers only.

  1. In the Address field of your Web browser, enter the following URLs:

    http://IP_or_DNS

    or 

    http://localhost

    where IP_or_DNS is the IP address or DNS name of your OES Linux server and localhost is the local hostname of the OES Linux server.

    You should see a screen similar to the following:

    OES Welcome Screen

    IMPORTANT:Do not access the End User Software links at this point. Most of these services require further configuration, as explained in the Novell OES SP2 Planning and Implementation Guide.

  2. (Optional) If you want to see the eDirectory™ tree and begin to get a feel for how iManager works, click Network Management > iManager 2.5.x, click Open iManager 2.5 under iManager Links, and then log in as user Admin (the user you created during product installation).

    You can also access iManager by typing the following URL in a browser window and logging in as user Admin:

    http://IP_or_DNS_name/nps/iManager.html
